Chapter 496 The Arrangements of the Goddess of Fate
Encounters in youth often affect a person's life, and the elves are no exception.
Aldarion was originally an innocent, kind-hearted young man with a touch of traditional Elf pride.
But unfortunately, he met Amber Xiu in his childhood. This man who could have been his best friend gave him the most unforgettable experience of being deceived in his life.
From that day on, Aldarion knew his weakness.
The elves have gathered all the beauty in the world, but in the face of this dangerous world, beauty alone is far from enough.
Hundreds of years have passed, and Aldarion has become better than most elves, but at the same time he is more indifferent and determined.
He is more accustomed to thinking about issues from the perspective of the entire elves.
When the addiction to magic first broke out, Aldarion once suggested that Catherine give up half of the patients in exchange for the protection of the elves and gods. This was the best choice for the overall interests of the elves.
Unfortunately, Catherine didn't listen to him.
Although the final outcome was pretty good, Aldarion knew very well that this was not because Catherine made the right choice, but because of the protection of the elves and gods. It was the gods who gave the elves new life through the hands of the lich.
No matter how much Aldarion loved his sister, he knew very well that Catherine was an unqualified elf queen.
After Aldarion inherited the position of Elf King, the lich Amberxiu became his biggest enemy. While others were thinking about how to cooperate with this lich or **** this lich, Aldarion thought further.
What he was thinking about was what changes the lich could bring to the world, which changes would be caused by the change in the lich's attitude, and which ones would not be affected by personal choices.
Apparently, the lich's greed is as eternal as the rising sun.
And what he said before was actually just bargaining. The resurrection of the dragon is a bad thing for all races. It is difficult and unnecessary for the elves to be alone.
Just like what Amber Xiu said, if you don't destroy the demon dragon when it has no help, can you really wait until the demon dragon recalls the dragon clan to rebuild the empire before waiting for him to knock on the door?
But bargaining is necessary. We cannot wait for the elves to pay everything. In the end, they can only get a few high-sounding thanks. The benefits must be obtained.
Aldarion could see that as long as Amber Xiu could expose the identity of the demon dragon, Ryan was destined to decline regardless of whether he could kill the demon dragon in the end.
If that's the case, why can't the elves share some of the benefits?
Amber Xiu looked at the young elf king and confirmed again that this man was different from other elves. Not only was this guy good-looking, he also had a "profit first" spirit that other elves did not possess.
And Amber Xiu hated this kind of people the most.
You elves are good-looking and rich, gifted with magic and artistic temperament, live long and healthy, and you have taken advantage of all the benefits. How can other races live without being stupid?
You have to pay for such a great cause as slaying the dragon. Are you embarrassed?
"Ryan hasn't even broken down yet, and you're just thinking about sharing the money!"
"You're not the same!"
Amberxiu gave it a try and found that the elf king was not good at it, so he insisted on letting Amberxiu give up part of his profits.
Helpless, Amberxiu could only make a promise. After the plan was successful, he would discuss Ryan's problem with the elves. Amberxiu promised that he would not take all the benefits. As for the final share, it depends on how much Ryan has left after this collapse.
Aldarion also knew that this kind of promise was ambiguous, but he also understood that this was the only promise that Ambrose could give. As he said, it is useless to talk about this until the magic dragon is solved in a day.
Aldarion asked: "What is your complete plan? You can't just invite everyone here and then directly reveal the identity of the dragon, right?"
Amberxiu nodded and said: "Actually, it's really not that complicated. You don't really think that a gathering of powerful men from all countries, plus a large number of elite troops, can't defeat a demon dragon, do you?"
Aldarian was not as confident as Amber Xiu. He frowned and asked, "How many people will be killed or injured?"
Unlike other races, the elves live too long. The heroes who have fought against the dragon are still alive. Aldarion understands the power of the Time Dragon better than others. This is an opponent that requires a lot of lives to defeat.
Amberxiu shook his head and said: "There is no possibility of defeating the dragon without sacrifice."
They had rehearsed many times in synesthetic dreams. The dragon was more powerful than ever, but it could not be an enemy of the entire world. As for how many deaths there will be in the end, Amberxiu cannot tell.
But if you think from the beginning that you can defeat the dragon tyrant without killing anyone, this is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
"I let Catherine know this in advance just to prepare you elves. When the battle begins, my friends will always have a greater chance of surviving." Aldarian glanced at Amberxiu unexpectedly, He said in surprise: "Sir Corellon, I don't know whether to call you ruthless or compassionate."
Amberxiu said proudly: "You can skip the ruthless option. Now people outside call me the benevolent Lich who saves the world."
Aldarion glanced at Amber Xiu with disdain, and then said: "That's not the point. Have you ever thought that the magic dragon's winning rate is not high, but with the power of the time dragon, it is still very easy to escape."
Amber Xiu said proudly: "That's just right. Once the demon dragon's identity is exposed and finally chooses to escape, the bet between the Lord of the Morning and the Dragon Gods should be over. The demon dragon can no longer parasitize the Lion Empire, and the cruelty of the dragon clan The rule was overthrown, and the Lord of the Dawn should have won this bet.
"At that time, the Lord of the Dawn will no longer be restricted and can explain the truth to the people of Lane and grant oracles. At that time, it will naturally be the Lord of the Dawn who will solve the problem of the dragon. After all, Lane is the one who bears the brunt."
Aldarion said: "You really don't take the Dragon Gods seriously? The Lord of the Morning has won, but it's not difficult for the Dragon Gods to make trouble for you."
Amber Xiu shook his head and said: "I helped the overseas dragon clan solve the food problem, why should they deal with me? Is it so unreasonable? Besides, even if the dragon gods want to trouble me, I'm not afraid."
Tiamat, the evil dragon goddess, is also one of the dragon gods. The soul bank of **** is about to open, and Tiamat will try her best to protect herself.
Amberxiu has already considered all the consequences, and with the Lich's survivability, it won't be a big problem this time. When he was desperate, he dived into the sea, found a trench and lay down in it. The magic dragon couldn't find it even though he searched for it all his life.
Although Aldarion despised Amber Xiu's method, he still recognized the feasibility of this shameless plan. The elves only need to be prepared and not be dragged along. As for whether other kingdoms will die, then they are not the Elf King. Something to consider.
"You have indeed thought of everything, but there is one last question."
Aldarian took two steps closer, grabbed Amber Xiu's wrist and asked: "Have you ever thought that your greatest strength is that you can do anything to make money, but this is also your greatest weakness. What if that happens? The demon dragon has put out enough chips, you, a money-grubbing lich, really won't betray other people for money?”
Amber Xiu chuckled and did not defend himself. When it comes to the obsession with the undead, it's useless no matter how much Amboxiu guarantees, because he knows very well that if the demon dragon can come up with a more valuable bargaining chip, he will definitely rebel.
Therefore, Amberxiu said to Aldarian: "Then you should come up with a higher bargaining chip to ensure my loyalty. For example, give me all of Ryan's share..."
"Don't even think about it." Aldarian didn't want to be fooled. The elves would decide the dividends.
However, the young Elf King did not say anything, but said to Amber Xiu mysteriously: "However, I can give you something, which is exactly what you need most now."
"I need more money all the time." Amberxiu answered equally firmly.
Ardalian said: "What you need now is someone who can be your assistant, and I just have the right person here."
Amberxiu shook his head and said, "I don't want any rubbish. Don't just find an accountant to lie to me."
"Don't worry, the talent I sent you must be suitable for you, because he is a prophecy mage, and I heard from this person that there is a prophecy about you."
Prophecy mage?
Prophecy mages are not uncommonly rare in this world.
Hearing what Aldarian said, Amberxiu also remembered that Huggie Stone had mentioned this a long time ago when he first arrived at Gold Coin Island. A prophecy mage found him, a vampire, and wanted to meet Amberxiu. one side.
But then he was so busy that Amberxiu completely forgot about it.
Thinking about it now, Amberxiu quickly took out the Code of the Undead and asked the vampire, and got a reply that made him laugh or cry.
[Don't like humans: I forgot about it too. Recently I have been busy writing a book about your kidnapping of the goddess, and I would have forgotten about it unless you reminded me. The prophecy mage had already left, leaving a letter saying he was heading to Silvermoon Highgarden. 】
Amberxiu closed the Code of the Undead and asked Aldarian: "Did you just say that this prophecy mage also brought a prophecy about me?"
Aldarian nodded and said: "Yes, and I heard it is very important. It's just that the other party has thought of countless ways and passed you by every time, as if fate doesn't want you to meet."
Amberxiu couldn't hold it back and sighed heavily.
It had been a smooth journey before, and he thought the goddess of fate was just ogling him this time.
The moment he heard the "prophecy", Amber Xiu immediately felt that the goddess of fate was finally kicking him.
